So today makes the first day into 'phase' at the rehab that i'm at. which means that i have been there at the rehab center a little over 2 months now, and let me tell you.. the past 2 months have been hell. i'm not used to being told to make my bed, and do chores. after 2 months of that i started to learn to make my bed every morning i wake up, and to do my chore. now that i'm in the 'phase' program i will get in trouble if i do not do those things, and if i get 5 'issues' then i will have to either write 18,000 words or a list of shit to do, and i really do not want to write that many words, and the shit that i'd have to do is like to sleep in detox, or be assigned a brother and take him to meetings.
I have a little more freedom now, like i get to leave at 4:30pm and stay out until 11pm. before hand i couldn't leave the property unless it were a weekend, and instead of being required to attend 15 meetings a week, I only have to do 7. so i get to get out a little bit more, the downside of that is that i have to be up at 3:30am on Wednesday morning and work in the kitchen there until 11pm.(with breaks after breakfast,lunch and dinner, and have to go to an AA meeting after dinner). we are not allowed to have any coffee there so that really sucks. Hell i woke up that early in the morning to get another one in me (that is if i did go to sleep).
I have a total of 4 more months in the 'program' and after this month goes by then they will move me from a top bunk, to a bottom bunk, and after the second month of phase then i will be moved to a single bed, and after the single bed then i will be moved upstairs.
Hell, I came from the streets. I was sleeping in a tent off of an old abandoned railroad track. in the winter months, drinking myself warm everynight. I didn't know that I would turn into an alcoholic until..
like on the 5th month and i woke up next to a hooker with the taste of hand sanatizer on my breath. I knew I had hit my bottom there, I went from drinking hard liquors <mouthwash < hand sanatizer, the next would have been break fluid or some fucked up shit. I did the drugs when they were around, later discovered that I can get more alcohol for my money, so I said fuck drugs wheres the bottle!
a lot of my homeless friends would have got paid like around the first of the month from SSI, and be broke the next day, where I would go pan handle and get a gallon of the cheapest vodka that i could buy and be shit faced for the next few days, i would keep doing that shit until I found out that I can get even fubard by drinking mouth wash. that was my shit!!
I'm sober now, and thats only some of my story.
I can't wait until I have more time sober so I can help another alcoholic, and once I graduate from this program then I will have a chance to do so, and get paid to do it! xD
